Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1894846A1] A product packaging apparatus (20) that includes a notch former (202) and a tab setter (204) for creating an integrated tab (233) on a product package (P). The notch former (202) and tab setter (204) are capable of forming a tab (233) or an exposed area at any location of the product package (P), including creating a tab (233) or an exposed area adjacent a longitudinal edge (236) of the package. The notch former (202) and the tab setter (204) allow a tab (233) to be created that has a length that extends beyond the longitudinal edge (236) of the package (P). As a result, the present invention is capable of generating simple, easy to open packages (P) that may also be re-used for re-mailing purposes.
